Just Married, Still President: Donald Trump crashes Taylor Swift’s wedding billboard

NEW YORK: Pop icon Taylor Swift and American football star Travis Kelce have tied the knot at a ceremony held at Madison Square Garden in New York. However, the high-profile wedding quickly drew political commentary, with the White House and US President Donald Trump taking to social media to mock the newly married couple.

On the wedding day, an electronic billboard outside Madison Square Garden drew significant attention by displaying the phrase "JUST&T MARRIED," which incorporated the couple's initials. Capitalising on the viral moment, the official White House social media pages shared a similarly designed graphic. Instead of extending traditional wedding congratulations to the couple, the official administration post featured the text, "TRUMP IS STILL YOUR PRESIDENT," accompanied by the caption, "IT'S HAPPENED!!!"

This incident is not the first time official White House social media accounts have targeted the pop singer. In addition to the official administration posts, Donald Trump released his own targeted message against Swift. The President shared a collage image closely resembling the distinct artwork of Swift's globally acclaimed 'Eras Tour.' Trump's version substituted the singer's images with photos highlighting historic American achievements, anchored by a prominent picture of Trump raising a clenched fist.

The political friction between the pop star and the administration dates back to the 2024 US presidential election, during which Swift publicly endorsed the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Following her endorsement, Swift became a frequent target of criticism from Trump and the Republican Party. Political observers note that the latest social media posts surrounding her wedding day are a direct continuation of this ongoing political animosity.
